Mettupatti was the second project funded by Performers for Progress. This well serves nearly 1,000 people!
Like the previous village, this one was made up of agriculture workers who were very poor and had no reliable water source. The water scarcity in the area was apparent as the overhead tank supply was sporadic and limited. Now things are different thanks to Performers for Progress. The people now have their own water tank which will give them safe water throughout the day and eliminate the need for extended travel just to have sufficient water for the day’s needs.
1,000 people call this place home. They are very poor, making a few dollars every day by laboring in the fields. They were very excited to have us visit and were very appreciative of the new well.
